Halloween at the Station returns to Michigan Central

Welcome back. Welcome back. Halloween at the station is back with two events this weekend for families to dress up and trick-or-treat. Eric Davis from Ford Philanthropy is here with the details. We were talking a little bit in the commercial break, and this is, I think, going to be one of those Halloween events that the folks were talking about forever and a place where real family memories are made because you have so many different things you're doing. That's right. That's right. So we had a Halloween party at the train station last year and we had a great turnout. And, you know, the kids were having so much fun and the smiles and the eyes when they see the costumes. It was amazing. So we thought, let's let's do it again this year and let's do it even bigger. So on the Saturday from 10 to 4, we're going to have Halloween at the station. There's going to be Trunk or Treat. The Trunk or Treat happens from noon to 2. We're going to have dozens of vehicles out there. They're going to be decorated. They're going to be passing out candy. We're going to have activations in the station this year. Last year, it was all outside. This year, we're opening up the train station. We're going to have face painting. We're going to have mask building. It's going to be a lot of fun. Going to be a lot of fun. And you literally named all the things that parents would want to do. This is not really what you can get. I mean, just look how cool that looks. This is not something you can get if you're just going door to door in your neighborhood. It's a way to do it safely. That's right. For parents, wink, wink, there's a beginning and an end. That's right. And you won't be out there endlessly. That's right. And the weather's going to cooperate this year, too. It's supposed to be a beautiful day on Saturday. We're doing it during the day this year. Again, the event starts at 10 a.m. and goes until 4. And so we're going to have hopefully sunshine, hopefully warm weather. And for those that decide that they still want to go out and knock doors in the evening, you'll have time to go and do that as well. And this is a way, you know, when you talk about Ford philanthropy, it is a way to give back because it's the gift of safety. It's the gift of community. It's, you know, the ability to come down at the beautiful, beautiful train station and have a good time. It's really an opportunity for the Ford Philanthropy and the team at Michigan Central to come together and do something on behalf and with community. And to your point, it's just a phenomenal place to be and the fact that we'll have so many of our neighbors there. we actually have organizations that will be participating in decorating cars like Detroit Pal will be out there and other nonprofit organizations we've got Bob Maxie Ford that's gonna be decorating a car so really folks from all over the community that would be coming and participating as a part of this and really it is a community celebration and that's on Saturday the Halloween party but then on Sunday we're also celebrating Dia de los Muertos at the train station as well so really two days of celebratory two days celebration and what does that one include that one is uh it's going to be a lot of you know cultural focused activities uh there's also going to be a music performance so just a whole another day of fun okay now i don't want to upset the people and turn them away from your event but i have to ask you a question what is the best halloween candy so my kids would tell me i am absolutely wrong about this but i can't pass up a bowl of candy corn yes look at my nails have you seen oh yes welcome to the family that was the right answer candy corn it's really the only answer yeah after that we will we will allow the Reese's pumpkin i can't turn down some chocolate so yeah let's bring the chocolate but the candy corn my man will be plenty there will be plenty this weekend. So please come bring a bag and plan on leaving with all kinds of good sweet treats. And for the haters, you know, they don't have to take the candy corn, but just to know that you're in the presence of delicious candy sometimes is just enough to lift your spirits a little bit.
